Family Feud SNES string comparison algorithm

def dumb_compare(str1,str2):
    cur_compare=0
    for c in str2:
        if c==str1[cur_compare]:
            print(c,cur_compare)
            cur_compare+=1
        if cur_compare==len(str1):
            return True
    return False

The most famous example of this is probably the Game Grumps incident where this algorithm was abused. The clue was "things a father buys for his child that he plays with instead" or something along those lines. They guessed CD player. They got it right, as they had answered "model car". A quick run of this algorithm will reveal:

dumb_compare('car','cd player')

comes out as true, as the letters "c", "a" and "r" show up in order in "cd player".

There is a tool-assisted run of the game that shows the exploit much better.
